. Daniel was still a little less lucid when he spoke of Lestat, but he has caught his words about bedding him. While Daniel had always been on the wild side when it came to sexuality with the exclusions being his marriages and not the affairs on the side, he knew if he loved someone enough he’d be monogamous. His wives? They were sort of a backtrack of his own sexuality, a thing he thought he had to do really. He tried the whole family thing and it blew up in his face. Of course it would, when all you thought about were vampires and you were trying to move forward, but couldn’t.
Nicolas again denied he was romantic, and Daniel would insist you could be two things at once and both be true. He also thought the idea of dying together was a beautiful thing, but his waning lucidity had him curl his fingers tightly to whatever shirt he was wearing, and tucked his chin to his chest. Softly, and with a bit of sorrow and fear mixed in, he spoke. “ I don’t want to die. “ This part of his life had just started He squeezed again, though this time more at his chest. “ I don’t want you to die either. “
Reassured that Violet was happy and far away, eased his anxiety a bit. And as he said he would do it, Daniel again had started to drift. He wouldn’t let Nicolas go, not a cuddle missed as they’d laid together and soon enough he slept. It would only be hours later when he came to that the words would hit him like a truck.
“ He wants to make me.. “ It was something he’d wanted for so long and Nicolas wanted to give it so freely. He couldn’t remember everything from not too long ago, but he absorbed something good and Daniel.? Well, one of his languages was gift giving.
So whilst Nicolas was tucked in coffin, Daniel was going through their little love nest, the small apartment he was paying for. Nicolas had practically nothing and that never sat right with him. Daniel was growing ever closer to completing his 13th book, Interview with the Vampire, and a writer never traveled without some copies of his own books, and Daniel was no exception to this matter.
So, he got every copy, and in each one was his autograph and a sweet love note. was this egotistical? He hoped not, as he signed novel after novel for him. In what was his favorite, Hate and Ashbury, he wrote the longest one, saying how his life hadn’t felt it started until crossing paths, how much he appreciated everything he had already done for him, given to him, and signed it with all my love, Daniel Molloy. Each book had its own unique bookmark as well, things he thought his lover might like. The list of books ended with a paper printed rough draft of Interview With The Vampire, and he’d written a dedication page.
For Nicolas, my companion, with all my love.
Yes, he’d used the word Even though he was human, it was simply how he felt. And even as Nicolas protested against affection and love at times, he knew he felt them. He hoped he’d come to terms with it.
At that point, he’d tied a red ribbon around the bundle he’d created. He wished he could lift all twelve books and a manuscript in one go, but alas he could not. So it was left on the couch for him to discover when he returned to this land of thee living. He’d probably be annoyed at first as they blocked where he sat to watch YT videos, which only made him chuckle. The only thing that could make it perfect would be a meal of fresh warmth and blood. Nicolas usually roused soon however. There was no time.
In his own pajama bottoms of a plaid gray and white and gray tshirt, he turned the television on, putting on some serial killer documentary, He’d pretend he didn’t know where the books came from, that they were simply dropped off by Amazon, which he’d explained before but surely would need to again. He wanted to do this in moments of lucidity which were growing further apart each day now. He also knew one other thing. Daniel hadn’t felt a pull towards another like this in such a long time. He wasn’t one to wear his heart on his sleeve either. Nicolas hadn’t felt burrowed into what he had left of a heart and devoured his love, like a worm to an apple.
